As a GM, I rely an awful lot on some table maps, and even counters and miniatures when I can get them. Now, the map part is pretty easy: a dry-erase grid and some washable markers are all I need to lay out a few things. If I know the layout of a place in advance (i.e., the place the players are supposed to go into for a particular job), I just make a rough map with Word's drawing functions, and make it big enough for the counters/minis I tend to use.

So all I need now is something to rep the players with for SR. There's plenty of stuff for fantasy settings, but I've come to realize that SR is pretty screwed in that department. I am aware they made some official minis, but locating some down here where I live is going to be next to impossible. Ebay turns up an eyekiller mini, but nothing else at all. I can do counters with some cardstock and a decent color printer, but I'm exploring my options first.

If anyone can make any recommendations (including cost-effective ones), I'd appreciate it.
